Theres a recurring trope of advanced civilizations (human or alien) using directed asteroids as weapons. In this case Starship Troopers is the first example that comes to mind.

Babylon 5 has this. Available in the U.S. on Amazon Prime (no affiliation; just know many have an account) as of a few months ago.

I'd never seen it coherently, all the way through. I really enjoyed watching it again, and fully.
